what do the follow abbreviations mean please

[Alfie Boy]

Hi

I am trying to find out what ~ pi, iab, dbc, amacc mean after a dog breeder name

Thanks very much

Don't mean anything to me. There are no abbreviations in the UK for breeders other than the Accredited Breeder Scheme, which is run by the Kennel Club. What is the breed (and name of breeder if you can put it on here) and I may be able to find out some information.

The name is on a open post off a web site "Epupz" under pomeranian, so it is for open viewing so I can see a problem writting it here.

This is using cut & paste off the web page

Lesley Holmes pi, iab, dbc, amacc
Name of Kennel: Holmes
Address: Washington
West Sussex

Thanks Lankeela

Asking on a dog breeders forum, but so far no-one has heard of her. Certainly the letters mean nothing, only one we possibly recognise is dbc (Dog Breeders Council) which is something that is free to join (basically is an insurance firm trying to get customers to recommend their policies). We would not recommend buying anything from Epupz, its the online equivalent of the local free ads paper.

If you want details of Pom (or any breeders) try www.champdogs.co.uk click on guided search, then the group you want (Poms are Toy group) then it gives you a list of breeders. Or contact the Kennel Club 0870 6066750 and ask for a breeders pack.
